Mellow Lamb Steaks Recipes

MELLOW LAMB STEAKS

Steps:

• In small saucepan, combine garlic, zest and 3/4 cup water. Turn heat to high. When mixture boils, lower to simmer, and cook until garlic is tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Season lamb with salt and pepper to taste. Place a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, and add olive oil. When oil is hot, add lamb, and sear about 2 minutes a side. Reduce heat to low, and cook 5 minutes longer.
• Add garlic and its liquid, orange juice, Marsala and thyme. When liquid begins to simmer, transfer steaks to warm serving plate with slotted spatula. Raise heat to medium-high, and reduce sauce until it is syrupy, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour sauce and garlic over lamb, and serve.

GRILLED LEG OF LAMB STEAKS

Steps:

• Place lamb steaks in a single layer in a shallow dish. Cover with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Flip steaks to coat both sides. Let sit until steaks absorb flavors, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Cook steaks until browned on the outside and slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side for medium. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).

Transfer steaks to individual plates and drizzle remaining vinaigrette over each.
